As of October 2024, the Old Red Lion is now under the stewardship of tenant Jacob Ward. It's pleasing to report that he plans to breathe new life into this classic old English village pub. He has already increased the opening hours and will hopefully extend them even further once trade starts to build up. The bar area has flagstone flooring and a large inglenook with seats inside. A small passage leads to two further cosy rooms (currently undergoing refurbishment). Draught Bass (on gravity as well as handpull) will be a permanent fixture and it is hoped one or two locally brewed beers (possibly a regular Mild) will be added to the range. The original pub bar remains relatively unchanged over the years and with its lovely original features and inviting inglenook fireplace, gives it a cosy inviting atmosphere. The former restaurant no longer forms part of the pub and will now be run as a cafe/tearoom.
